About Fry Meadows Guard Station

Fry Meadows Guard Station offers the peaceful solitude of a remote nature-lover's paradise just south of the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness and west of the Grande Ronde Wild and Scenic River. The surrounding area is steeped with native history and culture as it was once home to the Nez Perce, Umatilla, Walla Walla and Cayuse Indians. This site was originally established as a ranger station before 1908, part of the former Wenaha National Forest. The existing cabin was constructed in 1935 by the Civilian Conservation Corps and was used as a remote guard station until about 1980. The two-room cabin provides a pleasant escape for up to six guests. Additional guests may pitch a tent in the yard. Pets are welcome but must be leashed and outside

Second time here and hope to be back. Lots of hunter traffic this time but peaceful other than a truck driving by one in a while.

Quiet, beautiful, and very secluded! Everything was wonderful! The only problem we had was not having much firewood.

The best place to take an old mountain dog on a bucket list trip. Stunning views, a creek nearby, very clean cabin that is accessible for disabled dogs, great firepit, and best of all, no other people or pets.

Great rustic cabin. When I was there I saw lots of beautiful wildflowers and some wildlife. Lots of places for hiking and enjoying the outdoors. Propane heat, stove & lighting. Nice firepit and outhouse. Two bunkbeds. Sleeps 6. I enjoyed it and look forward to going again someday.

We found the cabin very clean and tidy. All the screens on the windows were torn, so we couldn't open the windows at night which was a little of a bummer. The nights were cool and the days were terribly hots so that wasn't too much of an inconvenience.

Very nice cabin located next to a meadow with wildlife passing through (turkeys, deer, elk). Very clean and in good condition with plenty of sleeping accommodations.
